Tips for Your Child’s First Dental Appointment

When should my child see Dr. Um for the first time?

At Kwan H Um DDS in Houston, this is one of the most common questions we hear. While it’s really never too early, most children should have their initial appointment by around their first birthday.

A good rule of thumb is that when your baby’s first tooth appears, you should call to schedule an appointment. No, there’s not a lot of cleaning to be done yet, but the dental professionals at Kwan H Um DDS can provide excellent advice about keeping your child’s teeth and gums healthy from the very beginning. Preventative care will protect your baby’s smile now and in the future.

For more information about your child’s dental care or to schedule an appointment with Dr. Um, call Kwan H Um DDS today at (888) 902-4158.

Don't Forget to Floss!

Clean between teeth daily with floss or an interdental cleaner. Decay-causing bacteria can hid between teeth where toothbrush bristles can't reach. Flossing helps remove plaque and food particles from between teeth and under the gum line.
